WASHINGTON. December g.
Comptroller Trenholl ms Report.

WASHINGTON, Dec g. The annual repor5
of the Comptroller Of Currency Trenholm
partial summary of which has been pub :
llshed, includes a summary of suggestions
received by the comptroller from all parts
of the country respecting q new basis for
National bank circulation. Over forty
plans have been proposed, and these ara re-
duced to five propositions:
First-To do away with the note issuing
junction of the banks.
Secona-To increase the inducements for
the banks to deposit United States bonds as
a basis of National bank circulation.
Third--To provide by new issue of
bonds, for continuance of the present. or
Of sale modified system of National bank
circulation based on United States bonds.
Fourth-To substitute some other security
for United States bonds deposited in the
treasury as a basis for National bank cir
culation.
Fifth-To allow the banks to issue crcu-
lation upon their general credit, without
requiring specific surety to be deposited.
The comptroller, after an elaborate discus
zion of the second, third AMI fifth--dn ally
reaches this conclusion:
ut would appear that no substitute yet
proposed for the present cases of National
oank circulation is sufficiently free from OBJ.
lection to be adoptoi Tns four per cont.
bon is will not mature for twenty years. and
apart from other considerations, there i,
'nough in this fact to Justify caution and
Ielay in making any radical change in the
,asis of circulation. In that time, no doubt,
something acceptable will be devised, but al
present all chat seems practicable is to mod
fly the existing law so as to obviate its in
conveniencss end as a first step toward this
end it appears both safe and wise to reduce
the minimum. amount of bonds to be kept

The constitution provides that the presi-

compliance with this provision, to annually

About Grating.

On cam Tr1fiine.
Cleft grating Is usually practiced. and. as a
rule, it is altogether the best except in the case
of some stone fruits. This rs simply to split the
stock, a Seeding, OF ~ limb with any knife that
will make clean cut. The split may extend
down two three inches. In this insert the
scion tone is usually placed each side of the
stockl sharpened down with keen blade to
thin wedge. and placed that the inner bark
(liber of each shall come into opposition the
same part. To insure tn the gratis may be
leaned slightly Inward. Thus a union is pretty
certainly formed. The whole is then covered
with grating wax to exclude air and moisture.
Niuety five per cent of the gratis should grow.
The proper time for grating IS in the spring,
when the weather is mild and before the trees
leave out. The implements necessary keen
poeket-knfe and thin. narrow chisei OF hard
wood for holding the split portion open until the
CRAFTS inserted. when the ehisel. being with
drawn. the scons viii be held firmly. ready for
the grating wax.
The grating in ordinary use is simply a
compound of beeswax, resin and tallow It is
made of one part by weight Of beeswax, two
parts of tallow, and four parts o resin Melt 1T
a low heat until thoroughly incorporated. It
may be applied when Just warm enough TO run
by means Of brush, or it ay be pulled as is
followed IN making molasses candy while cool
ing. until it is plastic, and applied about and
into the parts, being drawn "a; for this purpose
into thin ribbons.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Trade Quite Satisfactory in Most Depart
ments-Prices Firm in the Main.


ments-Prices Firm in the Main
INDIANAPOLIS. March 16.
In nearly all branches of trade there is good
deal of activity, the grain and -four markets be-
ing about the only lame ducks, and with this
activity there is firm tone to prices in nearly
all lines of goods Especially will this remark ap-
ply to dry goods, hardware, drugs, groceries and
provisions. In dry goods. while there have been
but slight changes in quotations. the few have
been of an upward tendency, and whore there
has been ne change wholesale men will make no
concessions to effect saies so strong is the tone
of the market generally. The hardware and
iron men have. seemingly the whip hand and
can spring prices at their own choosing, so light
in supply are manufactured goods they handle
Druggists are having good trade: the only ar
tcle which has weakened in price is quinine
The distribution of groceries, with the firm tone
to prices, is highly satisfactory and the volume
of trade healthy. The produce markets are
active. Potatoes and cabbage are in large sup
ply and poultry well; and on the two first
mentioned our quotations are as high as they
will bear. Eggs and choice butter are in good
demand at firm prices. The provision marke,
still maintains its firm tone, and the shipments
| southwark and to Eastern markets are heavy
| for the season of the year In other branches
Of trade there is nothing of Importance to note
GRAIN.
"Sickr as near covers the local grain marke
| as will any word in the vocabulary In whea
there is very little doing either in spot or fut
ures; no one seems to want any, For corn there
is some demand, but prices are weaker and sell
| ers are more anxious to unload than buyers are
to buy. The oats market is fully as fat as tina
